Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Heavy cream (fresh liquid) | 500 ml |
| All-purpose flour | 380 g |
| Powdered sugar | 350 g |
| Vanilla extract | 10 g |
| Ground cinnamon | 1 teaspoon |
| Cornstarch (cornflour) | 16 g |
| Nutella (or your favorite chocolate spread) | As needed |
Instructions
-
Prepare the Whipped Cream
Begin by pouring the fresh cream into a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla extract to the cream. Using the whisk attachment of your stand mixer or a hand mixer, begin to semi-whip the cream. You’re looking for a soft texture, where the cream holds its shape but isn’t overly stiff. -
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, powdered sugar, and cornstarch. Ensure the ingredients are evenly mixed. -
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Slowly incorporate the sifted dry ingredients into the semi-whipped cream. It’s important to add them gradually and mix with a spatula to keep the cream’s texture intact. The result should be a thick, smooth batter. -
Cook the Waffle Discs
Preheat a waffle maker or a sandwich press to medium-high heat. Once heated, drop 1-2 tablespoons of the batter onto the cooking surface. Gently spread it out using the back of a spoon to form a thin layer, about a few millimeters thick. Close the lid of the press and let the batter cook until golden brown, about 11-12 minutes. Once the first side is golden, flip the waffle to cook the other side. -
Cut and Assemble
Once your waffles are golden and cooked through, remove them from the press and transfer them to a cutting board. While they’re still warm (this ensures they won’t become too hard and break later), use a cookie cutter or round mold to cut them into perfect circles. Set them aside. -
Assemble the Sandwiches
After all the waffles are cut and cooled slightly, it’s time to assemble. Take one waffle disc and spread a teaspoon of Nutella on top. Top with another waffle disc to create a sandwich. Repeat this process for the remaining waffles. -
Serve and Enjoy
Your Nutella waffle sandwiches are now ready to enjoy! Serve them fresh for the best texture, or store them in an airtight container for later enjoyment. These sandwiches make the perfect treat for any occasion, from a fun snack to a dessert at a party.
Pro Tips
- For an Extra Crunch: If you like a little more crunch in your waffles, try adding a few tablespoons of chopped nuts, like hazelnuts or almonds, to the batter.
- Make It Even More Decadent: Drizzle a little melted chocolate over the top of your sandwiches for an extra indulgent touch.
- Keep Them Fresh: If you plan on making these ahead of time, store the waffles and Nutella separately until you’re ready to assemble to prevent the waffles from becoming soggy.
